Land Area Converter — Frequently Asked Questions
How the two Nepali unit ladders work, what your lalpurja figures mean and when to trust the conversion. Tap any question to expand the full answer.
How many aana are there in one ropani?
One ropani equals 16 aana, one aana equals 4 paisa and one paisa equals 4 daam — the hill-system ladder used across Kathmandu valley and most hill districts. In square terms a full ropani is 5,476 sq ft (about 508.74 square meters), so one aana is 342.25 sq ft (about 31.80 square meters).
What is the difference between hill and Terai land units?
Nepal measures land with two traditional ladders. The hill system counts in ropani, aana, paisa and daam; the Terai system counts in bigha, kattha and dhur, where 1 bigha = 20 kattha and 1 kattha = 20 dhur. A full bigha is 72,900 sq ft (about 6,772.63 square meters) — roughly 13.31 ropani — so the two systems are never interchangeable without converting.
How do I convert my lalpurja area into square meters for an online form?
Type the figures printed on your land ownership certificate (lalpurja) into the converter — for example 4 ropani 8 aana — and read the square meters row, then copy it into the form. The tool uses the standard square-foot table the land records system is based on; for anything legally sensitive, confirm the final figure with your local Land Revenue (Malpot) office.
Is the land converter free, offline and private?
Yes on all three. Every conversion is computed inside your browser with a fixed conversion table — no uploads, no sign-up, no advertising trackers on the numbers you type. It works with the site's offline mode too, so you can convert at the Malpot queue with no signal at all.
